Awesome! This should be a good brawl especially if Arreola isn't broken after the beating he took from Vitali...

We want Arreola Haye!!!

We want Arreola Haye!!!

It's probably the only heavyweight fight HBO wants right now, believe me.

However, after Haye's BS he pulled with the Klits, followed by the Valuev stinker, which will be followed by a mando against Ruiz, and the winner of that most likely looking at a Valuev rematch...

... HBO will have nobody but themselves to blame if they still decide to invest heavily into Haye's future. Given that Richard Schaefer made the trek overseas for the fight, my hunch is they will, and Haye-Arreola will be made the moment all options and mandatories are cleared.

This should be a good brawl while it lasts, great fight and it will be interesting to see how Arreola bounces back from the Vitali fight.

[Brockton Lip]

Great to see Arreola already back in action, good for him. Hopefully he'll become a champion in the near future.

[The Hammer]

Brian Minto is a better, more HBO-worthy opponent than Derik Rossy.

He has an aggressive fighting style, and he's never been stopped, while Rossy has been KOed twice. Because he's age 34, this will likely be Minto's last big opportunity.

Expect some fireworks in this one.

And in this corner...

About to get (Smoky)"Knocked the f'k out, maaaaaan"... Brian Minto!!

[Iceta]

It will be a shoot out type of fight while it lasts I think. This is what you would call a good card unlike Arum's next two PPV cards barring the Pac-Cotto fight.

Well, they needed to get people to the fight and Arreolla will do that.
